The buildbot is still showing attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp racy
failures on several build slaves. Thinking some might have been
related to yesterday's PR gdb/19828 fixes, I looked at the logs of a
couple. What I saw looked like what you get if your DejaGnu version
predates a fix from last year:
[PATCH] DejaGnu kills the wrong process due to PID-reuse races
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2015-07/msg00005.html
DejaGnu 1.6 was released meanwhile, which includes that fix, and some
distros backported the fix too. But I believe some of the build
slaves miss it.
So the following patch skips the test when run with older/broken
DejaGnus, in order to try to improve the signal/noise ratio.
